My favorites:
"Almost infinite" I hear every now and again on the radio, which can send me into a 10 minute rant at said radio about what infinity is and isn't.
"Unique" appearing with any sort of qualifier. e.g. "Very unique", "fairly unique" or even "almost unique". I mean, either there's only one of something or there isn't, right?

This has been posted before (but I can't find the thread - it was a couple of weeks ago, so it's about 200 pages back by now I should think) but for anyone interested in Scientology, could I also draw your attention to the splendid religion of Fictionology as a much less harmful alternative.
Praise Batman!
